[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 195123, member: 2423"] TM, if Duckie's been on all that allergy medicine and the cough's still in full force, I'm guessing it's not allergies. Plus if the pollen count is high, a cough fueled by allergies would be worse outside, not better. I'm thinking the cough might be related to parainfluenza, the virus that causes croup in babies and toddlers. In older kids, the cough can be dry and tickly as you describe. Parainfluenza can also cause mucus around the voice box. Parents of babies with croup are instructed to take their children into a steamy bathroom or OUTSIDE to clear the cough. Hence the reason Duckie's cough is better outside. Let us know what the doctor says. [/QUOTE]
